1. A computer-implemented method for malware detection, the method comprising:

  • loading at least a portion of a software code into a system memory;

    converting the loaded software code into a low-level programming language;

    simplifying complex instructions in the converted code into basic instructions;

    constructing a data flow model of the simplified software code;

    analyzing dependencies and interrelations of code elements of the data flow model to identify obfuscated software codes therein;

    optimizing one or more identified obfuscated codes in the data flow model; and

    determining based on results of optimization whether the software code is malicious.
